[0:07] In the news in the world today, weekend
[0:09] warriors on Capitol Hill, lawmakers
[0:11] battle over the budget and whether that
[0:13] bottom line will lead into your child's
[0:15] classroom. Then, an American peacemaker
[0:18] talks. US warplanes take off. We'll have
[0:21] the latest on the mounting tensions in
[0:23] Kosovo. From CNN Center in Atlanta,

[1:14] Officials say he has been busy this
[1:16] weekend working to get a budget bill
[1:18] through Congress. And in his Saturday
[1:19] radio address, Mr. Clinton used the
[1:22] threat of a government shutdown to push
[1:24] the process along. For the second time
[1:26] in 2 weeks,
[1:27] I signed stopgap legislation to keep our
[1:29] government running.
[1:31] But I can't keep granting extensions
[1:33] indefinitely.
[1:34] Mr. Clinton sent his budget negotiators
[1:36] to Capitol Hill to work with lawmakers.
[1:39] Later, his chief of
